This is my first post, but I think I have read most of the performance posts. I don't own a ruckus, at this point I'm trying do decide if I want one or not. Regarding performance restrictions, has anyone contacted www.hondata.com/. THey konw the honda code, and I think they could modify the ECU for more power and not RPM restrictions. |

I just contacted them. Hopefully I will get a response!  |

Not to rain on your parade, but I don't really see the need to reflash the stock ECU. The Ecu's primary function is to control timing based on inputs from the TPS(throttle position sensor), CTS (coolant temp sensor), and crank RPM. You can easily change the base timing (see my reply in de-restriction) for mere pennies to achieve the same result. The only other benefit would be to raise the rev-limit which can already be accomplished with the CDI module. My guess is "hondata" will not even bother as the R+D would far outweigh the benefit not to mention the cost onto the consumer. If we were equipped with fuel injection it might be worth the time and effort to get something done. Although it doesn't hurt to ask  Edited for clarity |

Does it increase performance much? If so where did you order it from and what was the $?  |

Have you used the CDI module? Does it increase performance much? If so where did you order it from and what was the $? I have the Kitaco CDI box. This was my first part and the bike was stock when I installed it. The Kitaco supplied harness is not a bolt in/ plug in installation. The wiring harness in the Japanese Zoomer is a bit different and you will need to hard wire the power up leads into the Ruckus ignition relay. You will also need a voltmeter and preferably a soldering iron to splice the cables. After installing the module, I didn't notice much of a difference. To take full advantage of the extra RPM you might need to experiment with the roller weight system of which I really haven't had a chance to try as I'm still waiting for parts. I could be wrong, but I'll post my findings here when I get to have a hands on experience with it. A common misconception is thinking you will gain an extra 5mph simply by installing this device. Maybe going downhill with a big wind behind you..... |

I have a hybrid CDI unti (FNO.AF58-1000001) made by Kitaco for the Zoomer. I hear the connections are different for the Zoomer (besides, they are in Japanese anyway). Does anyone have exact connection information, maybe pics?
I have installed three 6.0 gram roller weights and this should help make the difference.

I faintly remember hearing something about having to reset the ECM or fuel pump (not sure) if the battery had been disconnected. Is this true and if so, what is the process? Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about... The reason I ask is that I have to disconnect the battery to put in the fuel gauge, then reconnect.

I check the service manual and it does not say anything about having to do anything after disconnecting the batt, and also i do not see any reazon to do it, the ecm is not programable so no information would store or erase by disconnectimg the battery.

The ECM has a reset. It's the blue/white wire that hangs near the battery. You run a jumper from that to the + battery term and turn the key on, wait until the headlight flashes then turn the key off and remove the jumper. The reset is for the TPS. You shouldn't have to do it but...You never know till you try.

CDI stand for Capacitor Discharge Ignition, which is the use of a high voltage on the coil primary to create a spark as oppose to inductive discharge were you cut the power to the coil to collapse it to create the spark.A while back CDI use to be only used on racing cars as it was very expensive but now they are common and it is what allow us to have the modern coil on spark plug system so common now, i have a more detailed explanation of how it work on my FAQ column

My motor idles fine but when I hit the throttle and let off my motor stays wide open does this have anything to do with ecu

No more than likely a sticking throttle cable  |
